Modeling Risky Decision-Making Annie Tang, Ethan Levine, Brandon Ho, Jonathan Winkle, Ph.D., Emma Wu Dowd, Ph.D. Self-Report Questionnaires: Personality measures of preference/aversion to risk; 10 different scales with corresponding questions 10 scales: Weber, Rational-Experiential Inventory (REI), Barrett Impulsiveness, Maximization (MAX), Temperament Character Inventory (TCI), Helping-Orientation Questionnaire (HOQ), Regret, Brief Sensation Seeking (BSS), Behavioral Inhibition/Behavioral Approach (BIS/BAS), Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI) Demographic Surveys: Age, gender, ethnicity, etc. Risk Premium: Percent change in the expected value of the risky or ambiguous decision and that of the certain decision i.e. how much higher expected value of risky or ambiguous bet must be in order to choose that bet over the certain bet 0 = risk neutral | + = risk averse | - = risk seeking Risky Certain Trial 1: Trial n:... Y X Loss Aversion: Percent change in the potential gain of an always 50/50 gamble; possible to lose money i.e. how much higher potential gain must be in order to take gamble
